NAME¶

mempcpy - memory return-offset-pointer copy

LIBRARY¶

Standard C library (libc, -lc)

SYNOPSIS¶

#define _GNU_SOURCE         /* See feature_test_macros(7) */
#include <string.h>  // see memory.h(3head)

void *mempcpy(size_t n;
              void dest[restrict n], const void src[restrict n],
              size_t n);

DESCRIPTION¶

This function is similar to memcpy(3), but it returns a pointer to one past the last written byte.

It is equivalent to

memcpy(dest, src, n) + n

RETURN VALUE¶

dest + n.

EXAMPLES¶

void *
combine(void *o1, size_t s1, void *o2, size_t s2)
{


    void *result = malloc(s1 + s2);


    if (result != NULL)


        mempcpy(mempcpy(result, o1, s1), o2, s2);


    return result;
}
